1 TIMOTHY 5:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.”
Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers but also gossips and busybodies, saying what they should not — the socioeconomic reality: young unsupported widows become perierchomai (gadabouts), idle, gossiping, and meddling (perierga). Idleness breeds vice; meaningful work produces virtue.
